User Reviews for Ferrex 28 oral

I am on Ferrex after surgery,and on my last 5 days of taking this product. I have had no problems with BM or stomach issues. Feeling great!

I haven't experienced any stomach problems or the constipation. I eat somewhat healthy diet and occasionally eat junk food. I haven't noticed any signs of improvement but then again it's barely been two weeks.

It took a couple of months to see any changes in my iron from taking this, but ultimately my iron increased from 8.2 to 13.8. The constipation was terrible, but I started taking a stool softener at the same time I took the pill and that eliminated the problem. I took the pill at bedtime and never had any stomach problems. I highly recommend this pill as it was the only thing that increased my iron and iron absorption.

I have been taking this medicine for three weeks now and have not encountered any stomach problems. Ususally Iron supplements cause constipation; however, this time I eat salad for lunch and I stayed regular with no constipation issues. So, I am guessing if taking an iron supplement, it helps my stomach to stay regular when I change my eating habits.

I have been on this medication for about 2 weeks. I am serious issues with constipation. Have not take the absorption pill yet, hopefully that will help. Would like to know what I can do about the bowel issues.

I have been on this medication for about 5 days now. I cannot deal with my stomach issues I have been having everyday! I am not taking this anymore. Anyone else taking something that's working with less side effects??

SAme for me on the Repliva and PruVate. Now on Ferrex and have days of frequent BM. Switching to absorption pills today. Interested to see if it gets better

I began taking a different generic for what I thought was called Repleva (??). It was called either Pre-Vate or Pru-Vate. As expected, I experienced some stomach issues for the first couple of weeks of treatment but as the side effects explanation indicates, they subsided relatively quickly. My pharmacy no longer carries Pru-Vate or Pre-Vate so I was switched to Ferrex 28. It was taken in the same way, 21 Iron pills and 7 absorption pills. I have been on this generic for several months and experience perpetual stomach issues until I switch over to the absorption week. My pharmacist has been seeking an alternative but neither of us has been successful. I am very satisfied with the treatment portion of this medication but cannot continue dealing with the stomach problems. Does anyone know of another generic? I cannot even find information for Repleva (what I thought was the brand name for this supplement). I would appreciate any help. As I said though, I am very happy with what the medicine is supposed to do; I just can't abide by the side effects. Read More Read Less
